Hi,

As you've mentioned several times you are a recovering liberal, I was wondering if you could explain something to me. While I was at work today, I ran into an article at the BBC that called American voters who voted for Republicans "angry." Why is it that liberals must insult those who disagree with them, whether it be the opposing party or the voters who voted for them? It seems like a rather simple question, but I'm stumped as to what the answer could possibly be.

Thanks for the help!
